A Colony of BATS

Bertone’s 2008 BAT 11 will join its famous forebears at the 2009 Concorso Italiano.

Concorso Italiano has just announced that Gary Kaberleâ€™s famous BAT 11, the 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione-based continuation of Carrozzeria Bertoneâ€™s storied Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica series from the 1950s, will be shown at the August 14 event at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch in Monterey, California. This wild ride will be joined by the Alfa Romeo-based BAT 5 (1953), BAT 7 (1954) and BAT 9 (1955) cars, marking the first time that all four BATS will be shown together. Admission to the event is $100 and free for accompanied children under 12; visit www.concorso.com for more information.
